The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Mental Health of Healthcare Workers
A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has placed an unprecedented burden on healthcare workers worldwide. This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to evaluate the impact of the pandemic on the mental health of healthcare workers.
Methods: We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic databases including PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, and Web of Science from January 2020 to December 2022. Studies reporting on the prevalence of anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic were included.
Results: A total of 127 studies involving 158,432 healthcare workers were included in this meta-analysis. The pooled prevalence rates were as follows: anxiety (34.4%, 95% CI: 30.2%-38.8%), depression (31.8%, 95% CI: 27.5%-36.4%), stress (45.0%, 95% CI: 39.8%-50.3%), burnout (40.3%, 95% CI: 35.1%-45.7%), and PTSD (21.5%, 95% CI: 17.8%-25.6%).
Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the mental health of healthcare workers globally. Urgent interventions are needed to support their psychological well-being and prevent long-term consequences.
